We can match the color according to the color card (Pantone or RAL).
The validity of ESD antistatic additives is a more complex issue, which is affected by many factors. The type and quality of antistatic additives will significantly affect their validity. Some high-quality and high-performance antistatic materials can maintain good antistatic performance for a long time; while the antistatic effect of materials with poor quality or poor design may decline quickly. Antistatic additives can be divided into permanent antistatic additives and temporary antistatic additives according to their validity. The working principle of a temporary antistatic additive is mainly that its molecules precipitate on the surface of the product, absorb moisture in the air to form a water film, and achieve the antistatic effect. This type of material is very sensitive to moisture, and the antistatic effect is easily weakened or even disappears below 50% humidity, and the validity is relatively short. INCHR does not offer temporary antistatic and small molecule antistatic products.
Ambient humidity: Humidity is one of the important factors affecting the effect of antistatic additives. Water has a certain conductivity and can improve the surface conductivity of materials. When there is a certain amount of moisture on the surface of the material, even under certain humidity conditions, insulating materials will show a certain surface conductivity. The hydrophilic groups in the antistatic agent form hydrogen bonds with water molecules in the air, promoting the transfer of charges, and thereby achieving better antistatic effects. Therefore, the higher the ambient humidity, the better the antistatic effect.
Ambient temperature: Temperature also affects the effect of antistatic additives, but the specific mechanism of influence is not clearly stated in the information provided. Generally speaking, temperature affects the physical state and chemical reaction rate of the material, thereby indirectly affecting the effectiveness of the antistatic performance.
Compatibility with resin: The compatibility of antistatic additive with resin is one of the main factors that determine its morphological structure. Poor compatibility will affect the mechanical properties of antistatic materials, the appearance and performance of products, and the durability of antistatic effects.
